Safari, or a PhoneGap application (or anything that has a webview, as long as you have a matching profile) needs to be open on the iPhone, and be a recent iOS version.

And having the web inspector enabled on the device: https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/DebuggingSafarioniPhoneContent/DebuggingSafarioniPhoneContent.html
